Michael Jordan Is on the Cover of NBA 2K11

Share.

But will he actually be in the game?

Rumors have been swirling around the Internet for some time now about the possibility of Michael Jordan donning the cover of NBA 2K11. Some said it wouldn't happen. Some said it couldn't happen. Well, it happened. I just got off a call with the vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, Jason Argent, who said that Jordan is indeed on the cover.

Not only that, but he also said that Jordan would have a new player model designed for him for use in the game. He also revealed that Jordan would indeed be wearing a Chicago Bulls uniform. That means he will not be relegated to some cheesy position like the 2K Insider where players would only hear a few lines of dialogue from the greatest basketball player in history, nor will he be appearing as the part owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Argent went on to say that NBA 2K11 would be the single biggest step forward the series has ever seen year over year. We expect to see the game at E3 and will report back with more details as soon as we can. NBA 2K11 is expected to hit retails on October 5 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.
